In light of its first year anniversary, online platform Bombinate announces the launch of its very first capsule product in collaboration with one of its brands. This announcement comes soon after the company’s recent Pop Up Store in East London, and marks its first steps into the physical world - an exciting feat. The capsule product, created in collaboration with The Bespoke Dudes Eyewear, is a custom-made pair of sunglasses.

“Meet the Habanera - a versatile, sophisticated yet relaxed version of one of our favourite frames ever; TBDE’s Crans. Weekend or workday, it’s a beautifully wearable representation of Italian savoir faire.” say Elliott and Massimilano of Bombinate. The Habanera product, to be released on Wednesday the 27th June will be limited to 40 pieces worldwide.

Andrea Viganò and Fabio Attanasio’s reputation in the Milanese, sartorially-inclined menswear scene precedes them. Built upon their passion for Neapolitan tailoring tradition, TBDE - a happy consequence of Attanasio’s eponymous fashion blog, The Bespoke Dudes - offers timeless designs with modern twists, always with handcrafted, one-of-a-kind pride. “We’re proud to release this unique model with Bombinate. It’s symbolic of our long term relationship and our shared commitment to quality” says Andrea Viganò

Founded by Elliott Aeschlimann and Massimiliano Gritti in late 2016, Bombinate is a menswear e-commerce casting light on craftsmanship brands and offering them a place to thrive in the modern world. The platform hosts creative collaborations annually to support its brand community and encourage their exposure, allowing brands to showcase their artisanry and highly skilled work to a contemporary, global audience. These capsule products are the first of their kind, creating a connection between a purely digital company and the very manual world of craftsmanship.
